We have the most comprehensive map of the area, the only local news source The Talamanca News, information on transport, on weather, on volunteering and community projects and a huge gallery of links to blogs, photos albums and videos about the area.

The following additional cost items are available:

Link your website from your listing

Put a link to your website right in your listing for just $99USD/year for accommodations, tour company or real estate listings or only $65USD/year for other listings. Users will click right through to your website and complete the sale right away! 

When you purchase a website link, you will get the following benefits:

  • A link from all pages your listing appears to your website so customers can click directly through to your website for more information and to reserve.  The website link will appear in the information bubble when your listing is opened, on your detail page and on the category page for your listing type. A link to website icon will also appear right on the map page beside your listing
  • A picture with your listing on the map page, your detail page and the category page for your listing type (e.g. accommodations)
  • Listings are also featured more prominently on the category page for their listing type: they appear before non-linked listings in the featured sort and their picture displays beside their listing. As well of course their website address is prominently displayed there.

You can select this option when you are adding a new listing or if you're already listed on the map you can upgrade an existing listing here.
